I guess the money printing is slowing down, so the most important thing is to keep it printing fast. And of course those in-or-adjacent-to the White House are trying to blatantly g…

Until climate plans align with short-term personal incentives, I don't see how there's going to be any serious persistent fight against climate change. People might feel benevolent…

This is like putting your money in a bank ran by a cartel and expecting them not to steal it as soon as it benefits them.

Generally speaking, with humans there's more guardrails & responsibility around letting someone run while in an organization. Even if you have a very smart new hire, it would be ir…

Did Britain start out with the same gauge as India? I kinda expected India and Britain to use the same gauge, and was a bit surprised. Also, what's going on in Australia?

Well, they at least achieved some free PR for these shenanigans. Probably their best outcome.

I wonder if this decline means the public health campaigning and lessons about drinking/smoking/drugs prevention made a difference? As 1 data point, I have a cousin who is 17, and …

Has anyone tried this with Llama 3.2 or any other “open source” options?

The dust still hasn’t settled yet, but from following the discussions and learning more about the board of OpenAI… just… wow. What stood out: 1. The whole non-profit vs for-profit …

The board completed the "fuck around" stage, now they're in the "find out" stage.

That board is going to face a wrath of shit from Microsoft, Khosla, and other investors. This isn't a university department. You fuck around with $100B+ dollars of other people's m…

Did you do anything else special in getting it to correctly reference the documentation? Now that you brought this up, I could really use this ability with some 600 pages of docume…

Is there not a way to query a database with the ID from a phone? Why the extra steps?

Finally, at least it's promising that the process looks to be less bad

At some point, I think US cities have to just accept & own up to the fact that we have quite bad infrastructure for pedestrians. Drawing some lines on the road isn't going to stop …

Have people also faced these same types of problems with Wordpress? How did you deal with it?
